WIPOCALYPSE 07/23

  

Time to share with Melissa and the Wipocalypse family the projects we want to complete before the end of the world.

Point de croix / Cross stitching

I have been back on cross stitch for a few hours so some progress on my unicorn.

I'm progressing on the leg but made some navy blue and salmon stitches too.

Scrapbooking  / Cartonnage   associated with     Felt  /  Feutrine

August and September birthdays cards currently on the drawing table.

A bag and a new model with pastries...

On my list was a cute donut I saw on "Stamp Owl's" blog from Frances Byrne "Donut worry".

I want to make one, opening on birthday wishes but have to find an idea for a nice display. 

In the book I used for the baby album there were those festive designs

I didn't know what to do with. But now I do. They will be perfect for a pastry box lid.

I am cutting brown paper and felt on which I'll sewed some beads, sequins and pearl cotton for sugar tops.

Maybe a new update in August Full Finished Gallery.

En "construction" les cartes d'anniversaires pour août/septembre, un sac à main et un nouveau modèle en pâtisserie.

Ce donut trop mignon vu sur le blog de Frances Byrne me donne l'idée d'une version contenant des voeux et pour fabriquer une jolie boîte de présentation je suis ravie de pouvoir utiliser des décors proposés dans le carnet utilisé pour l'album bébé. 

Découpe de papiers marron et de feutrine sur lesquelles seront cousus des perles, sequins et coton perlé pour les garnitures sucrées.

Gardening  /  Jardinage       associated with Sewing / Couture

Again weed control with the help of Mochi, DD3 young cat, in the garden. The restoration of the swing had suffered from the rain, I used  staples for a quick repair but they are opened now and I might have to sew the jean like I had for the top of the back of the seat. Nothing is well finished if not sewed!

Tricot-crochet  /  Crochet

DD1 jacket is now in her wardrobe.

Some progress on hexagon, cat squares and a dress collar.

21 hexagons done

Don't know why the first I made

are smaller than the last!

I'll keep them for the sleeves

I asked DD3 for an old pullover to get kind of a simulation which will give me an idea of the number of pieces I need.

21 hexagones déjà crochetés, les premiers sont plus petits que ceux réalisés récemment... (qui sait pourquoi) je vais les utilisés pour les manches si cela ne se voit pas trop. Avec ce pull je peux mieux estimer la quantité dont j'aurai besoin.

Question of the Month: Which are your favorite and least favorite fabrics to stitch on?

I prefer linen but the unicorn kit is with Aîda 7, anyway now that I'm not easy anymore about stitching without a magnifying glass light (because of the cataract surgery) who cares about the fabric, the problem is my eyes!
